Things To Do
The Integratron
This is a gem right down the road from our home! Book a sound bath for a unique experience in a historical building.
Joshua Tree National Park
Try the Alex & Brett Sunday Drive! Pack some snacks & hit the road as early as possible. 1. You want to start with coffee, preferably from Desierto Alto in Yucca. 2. Enter the park through the West Entrance in Joshua Tree 3. Stop and explore a couple of favorites like Maze Loop Trail, Barker Dam & Skull Rock. 4. Depending on time, dip down to Arch Rock & the Cholla Garden 5. Come out of the park at the North Entrance in 29 Palms. 6. Stop and walk around the grounds of the 29 Palms Inn 7. Grab a beer and some chicken wings at Ground Squirrel 8. Head back on Highway 62 making whatever stops you like! If you're wanting a day like this reach out to us. We've got a google maps list and a Spotify playlist we can send you to really give the full experience.
Pioneertown
We love visiting Pioneertown on the weekends. Any given Sunday you can find us post-hike, sitting outside Red Dog Saloon listening to live music, having a beer and housing tacos. It's a great little town that started off as a movie set. There are a few shops, usually some horses walking around, and lots of tourists from LA.
Pioneertown Mountains Preserve
Great spot for short & long hikes with beautiful mountain views and funky rock formations. We've seen horned lizards here. Beware though, we've also seen mountain lion tracks.
Black Rock Canyon
This is our playground. There are a handful of great hikes and they're so close to town. You get a beautiful combination of desert washes, and high vistas with forestry, all in one area. Plus, views of San Jacinto and San Gorgonio Mtns. The Hi-View Trail is nice and short with rewarding views. Then there's longer hikes, like the West Side Loop. Feel free to reach out for specific parking and trail milage.
The Tiny Pony Tavern
One of the first bars Brett took Alex to on her first foray into the high desert. This place has the best animal portraits, good food and fun staff.
The Copper Room
An old haunt of Frank Sinatra, we try to take all our visitors here. The food is a little steep but the cocktails are amazing. They frequently have live bands & djs.
World Famous Crochet Museum
There's a handful of shops in this area that sell crystals, t shirts, vintage cowboy threads etc.
The Station Joshua Tree
Our favorite Joshua Tree souvenir shop. We love the owners Steve & Glen.
La Copine
A local gem right on the side of the road in our town. This place is a great brunch spot with amazing food, good people watching, and atmosphere. It's a place we go on special occasions to treat ourselves. They have had write ups in the LA Times and NY Times. Don't go hungry as there are usually long wait times, but you can get a drink or coffee while you wait. Good for a slow morning.
